Hard to read downvoted comments is a feature not a usability bug.

Down voted comments are supposed to be hard for everyone to read.

I don't think a screen reader would pick up the down-voted comments as different from other comments. So, it's still broken from an accessibility standpoint.

Aural style sheets? Do they work?

I think Emacspeak was the only screen reader that supported even just a limited subset of aural styles.
